[SOLVED] clustering with no PXE boot

mahmoodn · 04-18-2011, 12:18 AM

Hi
I have some chassis with this motherboard http://www.tyan.com/product_SKU_spec...&SKU=600000177 that don't have PXE boot. What is the best way to cluster them? any idea about that?

The manual states that it does support PXE boot.

Yes, but I see no "network" in boot order

UPDATE:
I found that in the BIOS->on board device configuration->onborad lan X OPROM
was disabled. after enabling it, I can see that in the boot order.

Just to note: with some BIOS (if not all) it’s necessary to first enable the boot ROM and then reboot again into the BIOS to see the entry in the "network" boot order listed.
